Senator Evans heard from Director Professor Peter Quinn and Chairman of the Board Dr Bernard Bowen on ICRAR’s plans and the Square Kilometre Array.  The Senator then spoke with staff and students over our regular morning tea, expressing his commitment to the Australian and New Zealand bid to host the SKA and reiterating that the federal government is doing everything they can to bring the core of the SKA to his home state of WA.

With words like that, he’s welcome back any time.
